Rockler Woodworking & Hardware

Woodworking and refinishing projects can be an expensive. Rockler illustrates this well; but they carry such a wide array of specialized inventory that I can understand the pricing.
What are you going to do when you need that special hinge to fix that antique chest you refinished? (And by the way, since you removed the original finish its not really an antique anymore…) You can’t order it online because you need to hold it in your hand to judge whether its right, and they don’t carry them at local hardware stores; so you pay a premium and get something exactly right at Rockler. Of course you could stock a whole workshop here also if you win the lottery.
Its clearly for serious woodworkers (i.e. wealthy and retired,) but anyone into do-​it-​yourself projects would benefit from a look around. I watch their mailer (available in the store) for good deals and coupons. I still have every woodworking tool that I have purchased here. They sell high quality stuff.
They also carry rough-​cut hardwoods, including some exotic species that might come from rainforests. (Yes — the lungs of our planet make beautiful furniture!) But I assume that they can verify where they source these.
